ing black, mixed with yellowish brown ; along each side is a very- 

 distinct cream-white marginal line, followed by others along the 

 rugulose sides, parallel but finer and less distinct. The underside 

 is deep brown. Probably a series o£ this Spider would show 

 various differences in the proportionate length of the abdomen, as 

 well as in the depth of its colour and in its markings. In one 

 example examined the abdomen was black, the marginal white 

 line on each side represented only by three slender linear white 

 spots. 



Three examples of this very distinct and striking species were 

 sent to me from Ceylon by Mr. Ernest E. Green.
